Second inauguration of Woodrow Wilson
The second inauguration of Woodrow Wilson as President of the United States was held privately on Sunday, March 4, 1917, at the President's Room inside the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. and publicly on Monday, March 5, 1917, at the East Portico of the Capitol. This was the 33rd inauguration and marked the commencement of the second and final four-year term of both Woodrow Wilson as President and Thomas R. Marshall as Vice President. Chief Justice Edward D. White administered the presidential oath of office to Wilson.
Crows of men in Washington for the inauguration assaulted women picketing the White House and demanding women get the right to vote. Press coverage of the violence and the women's suffrage movement overshadowed that of the inauguration itself.
